In such units you have the annual inspections and maintenance.By going in at different times with a help you out approach, it made a big difference in attitudes, allowed maint. guys to keep thier eyes open, while reducing annual inspections and repairs.There, you could knock and the maint. guy would just say something like...we have had some issues with the type of faucets you have, I'd like to add some new`washers if that's ok with you, so you won't have any problems later on.

I though I had failed to properly close our front loading washer and it was dripping.

All the usual chemical treatments tried were useless.I have no idea what they put down there but it was the consistency of bunker C oil.The basement was finished in the area under the sink & tearing the old pipes out from below would have caused way too much damage/cost.Finally I cleaned it out with a small $99 power washer I got from Home Depot to do other things.

Sounds like this is a faucet with rubber washers and brass seats.

I found this property on loopnet.com but it seems too good to be true:5-unit property for sale $369,000 (7,000 sq ft - 1400 sq ft each unit)3 BR / 2 BATH APARTMENTS; LIVING / FAMILY ROOM, KITCHEN; DINETTE WASHER DRYER HOOK UPS; CENTRAL AIR & HEAT2012 GROSS INCOME: $55300*/NET INCOME: $41298Note:Gross income includes $900 month for apartment # 520 which is currently occupied by manager (manages several complexes for owner) for which currently no rent is paid.

I'm sure you didn't mean to sound like that, but, maybe a little help for someone that was here trying to learn the business? 

We're renovating a rental and don't mind a dinged washer/dryer, fridge or stove.

Hello Everyone,Could someone sent me in the right direction regarding putting in coin operated washer and dryer for my multifamily property. 

Although I have a feeling she would have done so already if that was her priority.

When I was paying for water in homes with washers and dryers tenants were inviting their friends and family over to wash clothes.
